She sure has beautiful classic lines with a nice full keel.

**Bilging intensifies**

[@BlaineThePainTV]

It’s a beautiful boat!

[@RoyalColorSails]

I love it! I cant wait to get her in the water

[@dougfaulkner6799]

Instead of using screwdrivers on your hoseclamps, use a nutdriver. You'll get your clamps much tighter and its way easier to use.

[@RoyalColorSails]

Thats a great tip!, I should have thought of that. Noted for next time!

[@WeDontDoSmallTalkPod]

*dead bug noises*

Jump scare

[@ProtoPoly-PH]

Have to love how youtube audio codecs mess up a video lol.

[@RoyalColorSails]

I wish it was consistent, I can't seem to figure out how to make it consistent

[@KortNatali]

That is not a “priming port” diagram pumps don’t need priming, originally the handle would have come up through that deck plate. Why some idiot installed it upside down like that is beyond me lol

[@RoyalColorSails]

I don't know why I didn't think self-priming was an option lol. Thats why there is a hole! I thought it was strange that there was a hole. lol

[@KortNatali]

@@RoyalColorSails yup just turn it around so the handle sticks out that port and that’s how it would have been when new.

[@RoyalColorSails]

@@KortNatali Awesome! Ill do that!

[@KortNatali]

@@RoyalColorSails I used to have a Pearson triton, very similar boat built in the same factory and it had the exact same bilge pump set up.

[@RoyalColorSails]

@@KortNatali I'll see if I can't dig up some pictures to see how it's supposed to look., its been added to my fix list
